Sargent studies – value on left, colour on right. Can’t take credit for the originals in the middle :)!

Finished piece for conceptart.org challenge. The brief was: “The Greek gods have stayed out of humanity’s affairs for quite some time now. So instead they spend their time with their own kind. But some who have always had an interest in humans still stay close. Selene, the goddess of the moon, takes on a human form and roams among us, as if she were a mortal. She is pale in complexion and has long, light golden hair. She is always marked with the symbol of the moon.” (source: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php/303276-CHOW-369-Modern-Selene-Goddess-of-the-moon-FINALS#ixzz3OY1bgb5O)

Additional rules were she had to be human, female, in modern clothing and have the symbol of the moon on her.
